Tiwa Savage Turns Heads in Striking Lisa Folawiyo Creation at Berklee in Nigeria Grand Finale

by Women Times on

By Prosper Mene

Lagos came alive with music, pride, and undeniable glamour as Tiwa Savage hosted the grand finale concert for her music foundation’s partnership with Berklee College of Music.

The Afrobeats queen didn’t just grace the stage — she owned it in a show-stopping custom two-piece set from Lisa Folawiyo Studio. The outfit featured a vibrant one-shoulder crochet top in warm stripes of coral, orange, cream, and pink, paired with a crystal-fringed skirt that shimmered with every move. Styled by Ade Owolabi, the look perfectly blended modern elegance with bold Nigerian creativity, proving once again why Tiwa remains a fashion force.

The event, held at the National Theatre in Lagos, marked the climax of the Berklee in Nigeria: Tiwa Savage Intensive Music Program (Class of 2026). Over four days, the initiative brought world-class Berklee faculty to Nigeria to train emerging music talents in performance, songwriting, and the business of music — all fully funded.

But the night wasn’t just about celebration and style. Tiwa and her foundation made a massive impact by awarding life-changing scholarships worth over $2 million to 18 standout Nigerian talents, opening doors for them to pursue further studies and opportunities in music.

From heartfelt performances by the young creatives to star-studded appearances, the evening felt like a true passing of the torch. Tiwa, a Berklee alum herself (class of 2007), has long spoken about giving back to the industry that shaped her — and on this night, she did exactly that, with grace, generosity, and serious style.

In a country with raw musical talent, moments like this remind us what’s possible when icons use their platform to uplift the next generation. Tiwa Savage wasn’t just looking stunning — she was shining a light on the future of Nigerian music.

Using the platform, Dr Bayo-Ajayi called for a more integrated approach to professional practice across Nigeria. She emphasised that although different sectors have their individual specialisms, the ultimate goal remains unified.

“I believe that marketing is one, irrespective of different segments. At the end of the day, the ecosystem is one,” she remarked. “My participation in these industry activities is my own way of identifying with everyone to achieve a common purpose. It is about how we work together to strengthen our collective impact.”

She also highlighted the strategic importance of the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signed between NIPR and NIMN, stating her presence at the Kaduna event was a direct reflection of this partnership. “I am here in connection with the MoU that we signed.

by Women Times on

By Prosper Mene

In a celebration that blended bold creativity, cultural pride, and high fashion, British-Nigerian fashion entrepreneur Fisayo Longe, founder of Kai Collective, and creative director Afolabi (Folabi) Mosuro said “I do” in a vibrant traditional wedding that has taken social media by storm.

The couple, who playfully branded their union with the hashtag #NeverGettingMarried, proved that when two style-savvy creatives tie the knot, the result is nothing short of a fashion spectacle. Held in Lagos, their ceremony and reception served as a runway for innovative takes on Nigerian traditional attire, complete with custom pieces, striking colour palettes, and modern twists on classic elements.

Fisayo Longe, known for her visionary approach to fashion through Kai Collective, didn’t just wear the looks — she infused the entire event with her brand’s DNA. Guests stepped out in custom Kai Collective aso-ebi, turning the wedding into an immersive brand experience that included coordinated outfits, bold prints, and even elements reminiscent of a fashion show. One observer described it as “a full Kai Collective moment,” where loved ones didn’t just attend a wedding but stepped into the bride’s creative vision.

The couple’s own outfits stood out for their fearless fusion of tradition and contemporary edge. Highlights included:

Metallic gold corsets paired with dramatic silhouettes

Neon lime silks that brought electric energy to the celebration

Structural crimson brocade designs

Hand-painted skirts, aso-oke gele and fila (headwraps and caps), and luxe accessories from designers like Misho Designs, Mazelle Bridal, Couture by Tabik, JW Pei, Dolce & Gabbana, Christian Louboutin, and more

Afolabi complemented Fisayo’s looks with equally sharp styling — from tailored agbada to modern interpretations featuring Bally and Louis Vuitton shoes, with styling support from Denola Grey. The duo’s pre-wedding and introduction moments also featured multicoloured ensembles and rich Yoruba-inspired elements, including coral beads and handwoven textiles.

Creative direction came from Timonilonge, with wedding planning by Coker Creative and production elements handled by Folabi himself through Created by Clique. Photography and videography captured the magic, with credits going to talents like Chuchu Ojekwe, Moeez, and others.

What made the wedding truly memorable wasn’t just the opulence or the fashion — it was the authentic celebration of love, culture, and personal expression. The event honoured Nigerian traditions (including Yoruba and Edo influences) while pushing boundaries with avant-garde details like custom prints, textured fabrics, and joyful, unapologetic colour blocking.

Social media has been flooded with praise, with many calling it one of the most stylish Nigerian weddings in recent memory. Fashion enthusiasts and guests alike highlighted how the couple redefined “wedding style” by making it deeply personal, community-driven, and forward-thinking.

As one guest put it while rocking custom Kai Collective aso-ebi: “It was an absolute banger… celebrating love, creativity, and the community they’ve built.”

Fisayo and Afolabi’s #NeverGettingMarried celebration is a reminder that when style meets substance — and love gets the final say, the result is timeless.

Congratulations to the newlyweds! May their union continue to inspire bold, beautiful expressions of self and culture.

by Women Times on

By Prosper Mene

Nigerian music star Simi is marking her 38th birthday with elegance, gratitude, and a jaw-dropping surprise from her husband, Adekunle Gold.

The award-winning singer, born Simisola Bolatito Ogunleye, turned 38 on Sunday, April 19, 2026. She took to Instagram to share a stunning series of birthday photos that perfectly capture her glowing beauty and joyful vibe — from chic close-ups to intimate moments with her husband. In her heartfelt post, Simi described the past year as “a pretty big, long, heavy, and blessed year,” thanking God and her inner circle for their unwavering support. True to her playful personality, she added a witty note: unless she’s spotted out celebrating, someone might need to call the authorities!

But the biggest highlight of the day came courtesy of Adekunle Gold. The Afrobeats hitmaker went all out, surprising his wife with a brand-new Mercedes-Benz GLE-Class luxury SUV and a dazzling diamond ring. Simi shared an emotional video of the moment she laid eyes on the sleek blue Benz, visibly stunned and overcome with joy as she hugged and kissed her husband. She captioned the clip simply: “soft n spoiled.”

Adekunle Gold also shared his own loving tribute on social media, calling Simi his “stillness in a moving world,” his greatest muse, and the “Blue Fire” of his life. “I love you more than any song I could ever write,” he wrote, describing her as his favourite human, his home, and his constant source of peace and strength.

The lavish gesture comes during an already milestone-filled season for the Kosoko household. The couple — who began dating in 2014, got married on January 9, 2019, and celebrated their seventh wedding anniversary in January 2026 — welcomed their second child just last month in March.

Fans and celebrities alike have flooded social media with congratulations, hailing Adekunle Gold for yet another romantic masterclass. This isn’t the first time he’s spoiled Simi publicly on her birthday; in 2023, he gifted her a customised multimillion-naira diamond necklace that also went viral.

Happy 38th Birthday, Simi! From stunning photos to a love-filled surprise, you’re truly living your best life  and the world is here for it.
